Great review! A well balanced, comprehensive review. The oasis is a stunning device but I think the new paperwhite is the right one for me. Just placed my order. Thanks!
Wow, what a detailed review, i'm getting my kindle today, you make it sound so simple whereas people are comparing the kindle with ipad mini. Namaste from India.
Thanks! I much prefer reading on a screen like the Kindle's than on a phone or tablet screen. Hope you find the same enjoyment reading on your new Kindle!
Great review! I’ve been tempted by the new paperwhite, but I love my 2019 Oasis so much. I think I’ll hold out a bit longer for whatever the next premium kindle will be.
I just ordered the oasis and I'm so excited! It was a really difficult decision to make between the new paper white signature and the oasis but I liked the feel of the oasis better. I do wish it had the usb-c charging, though
Being comfortable to hold and having a screen that doesn't strain the eyes are probably the two most important factors in an Ebook reader- so I think you made the right choice. You will only charge it a couple times a month but you will be holding it for hours and hours.
@@parristx true! Thank you for replying 🤗. I don't be able to use it for a few weeks because it's supposed to be my Christmas gift from my husband lol. I cannot wait!
I think I commented about getting a kindle 1ST gen a few months ago on here so I thought I’d update you☺️. I ended up returning the 1st gen because it wasn’t able to connect with goodreads (and didn’t have some other features) 2 weeks ago I got the kindle paperwhite 10th gen when it was $50 because of an early Black Friday sale! I love it so so much and I like that I can connect it with my goodreads and that I can highlight and make notes! Right now I’m taking advantage of the 3 free months of kindle unlimited and I’ve already read 5 books in those two weeks! Also I hope you’re doing well health wise and keep making videos because I love watching them😃
I had an Oasis for a few years and wanted the warm light. I ordered the Paperwhite but returned it. It felt cheap and I just couldn’t get the screen to my liking. The just little smaller screen caused the font to be too small, but enlarging the font was too large. So, I returned it and am getting the newer Oasis. I missed the buttons, too!
The Oasis goes from great to godly when you disable touchscreen. It's such a fundamental feature, they should have put a physical "toggle touchscreen" button next to the power button. As it is, It's in the little "always on" menu in the upper right corner when you're actually in a book. If you haven't been reading this way, start now and prepare to bonk yourself on the head for not figuring this out sooner.
I have the Oasis and tried a friend's PW5. Oasis is still MILES better. But I'm thinking on buying Kobo Libra 2 for its ePub support, or Boox Poke 3 for a better File Management option.
Thanks Ross! If it weren't for needing reading glasses I would still be buying physical books too. With the Kindle I can bump up the font size so I can read any book without needing to wear glasses. That makes it worth it for me. 👓👓
I bought an Oasis for my daughter, I myself still use the Voyage, the main reason I'm sticking to Voyage is because it clearly has better contrast, the ink is much darker than Oasis, I wonder if the new Paperwhtie has better contrast than Oasis too?
If you could pick up an Oasis for the same price and the new paper white, which one would you choose between the two? I have the opportunity to pick up an oasis for the same price as the new paper white but cant decide lol
I like the Oasis for the buttons and the screen color. I like the new Paperwhite for the fast charging and the "zippiness" of how it responds. Which elements are more important for you?
@@parristx good point, I have no idea. This is my first kindle lol i bought the paper white today. I am already noticing it is not the most comfortable to hole laying down because of the bezels. Sitting down is fine though. The oasis at Bestbuy seemed more comfortable for some reason. I have 14 days to return the paper white if I dont like it. So i think i will give it a try.
I love my Kindle Oasis, I've read good stuff about Paperwhite SE, but I'm pretty happy with my current Kindle. IDK maybe in 5 years when I upgrade newest kindle would be even better :)
Nice! Thanks Parris. My FIL uses a kindle to read. I'll let him know your thoughts. Maybe a Christmas gift for him, dependant on his reaction. God Bless!
Great review! A well balanced, comprehensive review. The oasis is a stunning device but I think the new paperwhite is the right one for me. Just placed my order. Thanks!
Thanks Matt- that's a nice compliment! Hope you love your new Paperwhite!
Glad to see you're doing better.
Thanks!

Oh sir you're so adorable. I'm opting for the paperwhite by December, I have the basic for only 2 weeks now, and read 4 books on it already.
That should make a nice gift for yourself! 👍👍
Great and informative review. Also great energy you got there. I wish the best in your battle against cancer!
Thanks so much!

Thanks Valeria! Glad to hear you upgraded to the Kindle Paperwhite- and it sounds like you got a great price!
New kindle paperwhite 10th gen @50 bucks. How in the earth :O

I hope you have your new Oasis by now and are enjoying the screen and the buttons. I got a lot of use out of mine over the holidays.
we love you parris
Thank you!
Great Video. I hope your fight against Cancer is going good!
Thanks Tom, I appreciate it.

Great tip! I will give it a try. Thanks! 👍👍
Great review, definitely getting myself a paperwhite this year. Cheers from Russia

Excellent review, very helpful!
Thank you. This video is very well made.
I appreciate it- thank you!
Cool, Parris! Call me old fashioned, but I'm STILL on paperbacks and hard covers! LOL!
Also, you look fantastic!!!

@@parristx Hmm. . . That's interesting. I never thought of that. . .
This was an excellent review. Thank you very much for this. Really helped my decision making.
Thanks- so glad to hear it!
Thank you, this was really helpful
Thanks Tanja- glad to help!

Do styluses work on kindles?
I haven't tried a stylus on my Kindle screen but I imagine it would work- same as on a phone screen.
If you could pick up an Oasis for the same price and the new paper white, which one would you choose between the two? I have the opportunity to pick up an oasis for the same price as the new paper white but cant decide lol

Maybe by then they will even have color e-ink! 😁

Nice presentation.

That's great! This 2021 Paperwhite is so noticeably better I am sure he would appreciate it.
Song at the end 😂 probably by your daughters, a gift for father ✅
Thanks.
Sir good review I received paper white on 31.10
Thanks Dinesh! How are you liking the new Paperwhite?
you are very good ,i will buy paperwhite,because of your comprehensive review. thank you
I appreciate that- thank you!
I care about the buttons. I wish they were on the Paperwhite!
Hey Penny! They need some feature to differentiate the Kindle Oasis- and to get people to pay the higher price tag.
Yes, that must be an illusion? The oasis does look much larger. Don't understand why.
i love my oasis but i need usb -c and wireless charge;) oasis with buttons all the way
Yes, if the buttons are a must then the Oasis is the only way to go.
